Narrative

An employee was testing a new product on a roll forming mill: a metal sheet 8 1/2 feet wide and 12 feet long. The metal became stuck. The mill was reversed and the employee's right little finger was then pinched between the roll and the sheet metal, causing an amputation to the finger at the top of the knuckle.
